Hideous.

Anything and everything Duesenberg makes is hot. The price is a major ass-raping, though.

[BydoEmpire]

Not something I'd buy, but still pretty hot.  Neck pickup would be even better.

[PurpleTrails]

Hot, but I can't figure out why a guitar with one pickup needs a pickup selector switch.

[jelloman]

Hot...but would be hotter with a neck pickup...

according to the website, it's a unique coil tap.  here's what another site has to say about it (seems intriguing):

"Speaking of tone, Duesenberg crafts all of their own pickups and the P-90 they've put in the Dragster is fantastic. Having the ability to be multi-tapped, this single pickup in conjunction with a 3 way switch can give you everything from jangley, single coil tones to super beefy tones Les Paul Jr oomph that you'll swear might pass for a humbucker."

jello!

i agree.  i love the tones i get out of neck pickups in general.  if i had to have a one-pickup guitar, i'd want that one pickup in the neck position.

[bjcarl]

That's just crazy talk.

[Flatspotter]

Needs another pickup. And why put a rosewood veneer on the headstock and then paint it black?

I agree with this sentiment as well.  On a two-pickup guitar I'm usually either dialed in on either the neck or middle position.

Really?  While I get you might not like it, an adjective such as "hideous" really fails to describe that guitar in any way.

[LeftyTom]

I like it, but would not drop that much coin on it.

[GreatDane]

Don't let price cloud your decision. If you think it's hot (or not), then that's all that matters.

I recently got the chance to noodle on a Duesenberg Fullerton Hollow, which is kind of like the ES-330 -- slim fully hollow, P90 pickups. The sound was very nice, kind of chimey and the tone control gave a really nice range of sounds, between the two pickups.

The price, though, was absurd. Aren't these made in Korea? This one had an asking price of nearly $3300, and really, what are you getting for all that money?

[BeanoBoy]

Hot, but my favorite Duesenberg is the Double Cat.

I'm pretty sure they're all made in California.

If you're the unfortunate bearer of a 1/4" dick, you can!
